Quoted: If/when things get back to normal, there really ought to be a better telling of this story Task Force Faith from the Chosin Reservoir battle in Korea. Or is there a better US military story not yet told? Educate me. When I saw the title of the thread Korea was the first thing to come to mind. Reading Marine! (Chesty Puller) and About Face (Col. David Hackworth) were very enlightening to this conflict. |

I want to say WW1 since we really don't discuss it but pretty much everyone dies en mass. So I'd say Korea War since that's the other modern war Americans don't discuss much.
I would really like to see a German & then Russian version done about the Eastern Front. Yes, they've done some of these already but I'd like to see better versions since that war was crazy. I think BoB was the best miniseries done. Perfect adaption from a great writer with an amazing cast of characters. Pacific was such a letdown. |

This is the way For what it's worth, The War Below has a couple chapters on the Battle of Leyte Gulf, so we could have a "get both" moment using that book. I don't know how you would turn a very finite event like the Battle off Samar into a miniseries. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I thought this IS what the next one is to be about? The Mighty Eighth? Quote HistoryQuoted: I thought this IS what the next one is to be about? The Mighty Eighth? Masters of the Air is what you seek. It's based on Donald Miller's book;  There were some issues that made HBO decline to participate (money is a guess), so Spielberg made a deal with Apple to move it all over to their TV streaming service. No news on release date yet, so it will be a way off I think... Reports of a third World War II based miniseries in the same vein as Band of Brothers and The Pacific developed by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg began in October 2012, with the focus on a team of aerial bombers called The Mighty Eighth.[1] In January 2013, HBO confirmed it was developing the miniseries, based on Donald L. Miller's book Masters of the Air: America's Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany.[2] In October 2019, it was reported that Apple had made a deal with Spielberg's and Hanks's respective production companies to stream the series exclusively on Apple TV+ instead of HBO.[3] HBO confirmed that it decided not to move forward with the series in a statement.[4] Deadline reported the series contains eight episodes at a production cost of over $200 million, while The Hollywood Reporter said it contains nine episodes at a production cost of $250 million.[5] The website Footsteps Research reported the series would focus on the 100th Bombardment Group of the Eighth Air Force.[6] A bit more info HERE, about the story arcs and characters, although no idea how accurate. |

I want to see a realistic portrayal of something NOT 20th century.
Show me a historically accurate Napoleonic campaign. Show me Trafalgar. Show me Agincourt. Show me Greece or Babylonia or Assyria or Israel or Egypt. Famous heroes are cool and all, but it seems we’ve lost the ability to make stories about anything other than the dozen Big Names in history. Band of Brothers (book AND movie) was awesome because they were a bunch of nobodies- no history book would’ve cared about their story. There’s no Eisenhower, there’s no Patton, just war from the perspective of the guys who had to live through it. Zoom all the way down on the random soldier and tell the story from their perspective. |

the story of joseph Beyrle
Joseph R. Beyrle (Russian: ?????? ???????, tr. Dzhozef Bayyerli; August 25, 1923 – December 12, 2004) is thought to be the only American soldier to have served with both the United States Army and the Soviet Red Army in World War II. He took part in Mission Albany, the airborne landings of the 101st Airborne Division on June 5–6, 1944, as a member of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment. He was captured by the Germans and sent east as a prisoner of war. After several unsuccessful attempts, Beyrle escaped from the German Stalag III-C in January 1945 and joined a Soviet tank battalion under the command of Aleksandra Samusenko.[citation needed] Wounded, he was evacuated and eventually made his way to the United States in April 1945. Beyrle died in 2004 and was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Beyrle was taken to the Stalag III-C POW camp in Alt Drewitz, from which he escaped in early January 1945. He headed east, hoping to meet up with the Soviet army. Encountering a Soviet tank brigade in the middle of January, he raised his hands, holding a pack of Lucky Strike cigarettes, and shouted in Russian, 'Amerikansky tovarishch! ("American comrade!"). Beyrle was eventually able to persuade the battalion's commander (Aleksandra Samusenko,[citation needed] allegedly the only female tank officer of that rank in the war) to allow him to fight alongside the unit on its way to Berlin, thus beginning his month-long stint in a Soviet tank battalion, where his demolitions expertise was appreciated. Soviet Army Beyrle's new battalion was the one that freed his former camp, Stalag III-C, at the end of January, but in the first week of February, he was wounded during an attack by German dive bombers. He was evacuated to a Soviet hospital in Landsberg an der Warthe (now Gorzów Wielkopolski in Poland), where he received a visit from Soviet Marshal Georgy Zhukov, who, intrigued by the only non-Soviet in the hospital, learned his story through an interpreter, and provided Beyrle with official papers in order to rejoin American forces. |

Just finished that book a few weeks ago. That wouldn’t be a bad one although I would imagine most non-history military people would see it as too similar to Unbroken |
